Hey everyone,
I was just curious of the difference between these three paint programs. Painter looks awesome but I already have photopaint. Is it really that much different?
Thanks!

Hi Joe,
Thank yo for the kind words about my pictures.I agree the programs, all of them, are great. And all of them have their own strenghts and target groups.
PHOTO-PAINT have one specific difference - and that is CMYK and the Color Management, which is very importent if you with photos or illustrations - drawing, painting etcetera - and towards offsett print. The second you go printing on paper you basically need CMYK. It really is that simple.
If I would start from the very scratch once again today, I would still choose Corel PHOTO-PAINT for its superior versatility in how many fileds of work you can work with.
Today I see it like this: CorelDRAW, Corel PHOTO-PAINT & Corel PAINTER + add Corel Aftershot PRO and you basically can do anything any client would throw at you. You are super covered.
I have all three of these programs, and as others have said; each has their own strengths and weeknesses. I find photpaint to be a little less user friendly when it comes to photos, but it is great for preparing a raster for a project for draw. Paint shop is strong when it comes to photo editing, and when they first intorduced their art-media brushes I got hooked. But if you want to truly get the digital painting experience, painter is your program. I've produced some half-way decent paintings from phots, and have had a couple posted on blogs and e-zines. You can see a lot of my stuff at kevinparnell.com. It's just a blog, I'm not selling anything.
The bottom line here as has been said by others: what is your goal here?
